Everybody in the United States including Georgetown's Hoyas have joined the "I Can't Breathe" protest against police brutality and racism since the death of unarmed black men like Michael Brown and Eric Garner under the hands of the police.

It is not surprising if they are the first ones in their industry to participate in the "I Can't Breathe" rally, since their school is known for voicing out matters involving the society.

It was a moving scenario that all their players came out wearing short-sleeved shirts with words printed in bold and white letters saying, "I CAN'T BREATHE." During the national anthem, all of them lined up on the court showing the world the signs on their shirt which also means how they could be in protest without needing to cause traffic outside the streets.

It is definitely a silent protest, as well as a nonviolent act to voice out what they feel.

Before the game started, they shook hands with their opponents for the evening who are the Jayhawks, then they removed their shirts as they began the game.

Other professional players like LeBron James and Kobe Bryant also placed those words on their shirts during their warm ups before hitting the court for the game as a sign of them participating in the ongoing protest.

"I Can't Breathe" are the famous last words that Eric Garner have uttered when cops in New York City tried to arrest him back in July for allegedly selling illegal cigarettes. The cops who were involved in his death were not indicted by the grand jury and this is why lots of people came out in protest to seek justice for what happened.
